[PMID: 38702791 PMCID: PMC11069257 DOI: 10.1186/s13065-024-01198-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024] Open
Abstract
In the investigation of active ingredients from natural products, current technologies relying on drug-target affinity recognition analysis face significant challenges. This is primarily due to their limited specificity and inability to provide downstream pharmacodynamic information, such as agonistic or antagonistic activity. In this study, a two-point method was developed by immobilizing M3 acetylcholine receptor (M3R) through the combination of the conformation-specific peptide BJ-PRO-13a and the HaloTag trap system. We systematically assessed the specificity of the immobilized M3R using known M3R antagonists (pirenzepine and atropine) and agonists (cevimeline and pilocarpine). By frontal analysis and nonlinear chromatography, the performance of immobilized M3R was evaluated in terms of binding kinetics and thermodynamics of four drugs to the immobilized M3R. Additionally, we successfully identified two M3R antagonists within an extract from Daturae Flos (DF), specifically hyoscyamine and scopolamine. Our findings demonstrate that this immobilization method effectively captures receptor-ligand binding interactions and can discern receptor agonists from antagonists. This innovation enhances the efficiency of receptor chromatography to determine binding-affinity in the development of new drugs, offering promise for the screening and characterization of active compounds, particularly within complex natural products.

Abstract
Coptis chinensis inflorescence is a by-product of Coptis chinensis Franch and riches in alkaloids. We screened the bioactive compounds in the by-product through an immobilized peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma. The receptor was covalently immobilized on the macroporous silica gel through amino groups to generate the affinity stationary phase and was applied for screening. Berberine, palmatine, and jatrorrhizine were identified as the retained components of the herb on the affinity column. We evaluated the binding of the three bioactive compounds with the receptor by nonlinear chromatography and molecular docking. The affinities of the compounds to the receptor were (1.42±0.10) ×108 M-1 , (4.88±0.38) ×107 M-1 , and (1.65±0.13) ×107 M-1 for berberine, palmatine, and jatrorrhizine, with dissociation rate constants of (17.70±0.03) ×10-3 S-1 , (5.18±0.25) ×10-2 S-1 , and (15.7±0.05) ×10-2 S-1 , respectively. Cys285, Arg288, Ile326, Leu330, and His449 in the agonist binding pocket of the receptor participated in the formation of bioactive compound-receptor conjugates. These data indicated that the immobilized receptor is a reliable alternative for screening the bioactive compounds. In addition, Coptis chinensis inflorescence has the potential to be a source for drug discovery. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
High-performance affinity chromatography is limited by its high cost and high pressure. Paper is made up of porous fiber networks and has the properties of low cost, ease of fabrication, and biodegradable. Due to these advantages, herein, we immobilized beta2-adrenoceptor (β2-AR) onto the surface of the polytetrafluoroethylene membrane, a paper-based material, and constructed a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-in-paper chromatographic platform. This platform was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and chromatographic studies. These morphological and elemental analysis showed that β2-AR was successfully immobilized on the paper surface. The specific drugs have good retentions on the GPCR-in-paper chromatographic platform. The association constants of salbutamol, terbutaline and bambuterol to β2-AR were calculated to be 2.02 × 104 M-1, 1.15 × 104 M-1, 1.75 × 104 M-1 by adsorption energy distribution, which were in good line with the values from frontal analysis, zonal elution and previous literatures. We demonstrated that the GPCR-in-paper platform was cost-effective, easy to be modified for protein immobilization, and applicable in the receptor-drug interaction analysis. We believe such a platform sheds new light on paper chromatography for receptor-drug interaction analysis and other applications.

Abstract
Yanghe decoction is a traditional Chinese medicine prescription and has been used for breast cancer treatment for many years. However, the effective ingredients in the decoction have not been identified. The expression of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 is highly related to breast cancer. Using poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 as a probe, we expressed the haloalkane dehalogenase-tagged protein in BL21(DE3) E. coli, immobilized it on hexachlorocaproic acid-modified macroporous silica gel, and established a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 chromatographic model. The feasibility of the model was verified by testing the retention behaviors of five drugs on the protein column. We applied the model in screening the bioactive components in yanghe decoction. Rutin, liquiritin, and a compound ([M-H]- 681.7) were identified to be the potential bioactive ingredients. We studied the binding property between rutin and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 by injection amount dependent method, competitive studies, and molecular docking. We found that rutin can bind to the protein through the typical inhibitor binding site of the protein. Therefore, the chromatographic model is a useful tool to screen bioactive compounds from traditional Chinese medicine. The method is fast, reliable, and applicable to other functional proteins that can screen the potential lead compounds for the treatment of the related diseases.

Abstract
Background San-ao decoction (SAD) has been widely used in Chinese medicine against respiratory diseases, such as asthma and rhinallergosis. The bioactive compounds for such pharmacological action remain unknown. Methods We developed a methodology to isolate the bioactive compounds of SAD. The assay involved the immobilization of beta 2-adrenoceptor (β 2-AR) onto magnetic fine particles, the capture of target compounds by the immobilized receptor, the identification of the receptor bound compounds by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. Results Vicenin, shaftoside, isoshaftoside, liquiritin apioside and isoliquiritin apioside were identified as β 2-AR ligands in SAD extract. The binding of these compounds to β 2-AR occurred on serine169, serine170 and phenylalanine256 of the receptor. Conclusions The developed methodology has high stability and specificity for recognizing and isolating target compounds. It is an alternative method for rapidly screening bioactive compounds of immobilized receptor from Chinese prescriptions.

Abstract
Owing to the promising clinical efficacy and relatively simple composition, Shuang-Huang-Lian prescription is widely prescribed for the treatment of acute upper respiratory tract infection and acute bronchitis in practice. This necessitates the understanding of the bioactive compounds of the prescription and their binding mechanism to β2 -adrenoceptor, which mediates the aforementioned ailments. In this work, a column containing immobilized β2 -adrenoceptor was prepared using a diazonium salt reaction. The bioactive compound collected from the β2 -adrenoceptor column was identified as chlorogenic acid by using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with ion trap mass spectrometry. Using an injection amount dependent method, chlorogenic acid proved the binding to β2 -adrenoceptor through two kinds of sites. The numbers of the sites were (1.42 ± 0.03) × 10-8 and (9.06 ± 0.49) × 10-8 M. The association constants were (2.72 ± 0.01) × 105 and (2.80 ± 0.01) × 104 M-1 , respectively. Molecular docking analysis of the interaction between chlorogenic acid and β2 -adrenoceptor indicated that the binding mainly occurred on Ser169 , Ser173 , and Phe287 of β2 -adrenoceptor. These results paved the way to screen bioactive compounds of other traditional medicines by receptor chromatography.

Abstract
Identification of active compounds from natural products is a critical and challenging task in drug discovery pipelines. Besides commonly used bio-guided screening approaches, affinity selection strategy coupled with liquid chromatography or mass spectrometry, known as ligand fishing, has been gaining increasing interest from researchers. In this review, we summarized this emerging strategy and categorized those methods as off-line or on-line mode according to their features. The separation principles of ligand fishing were introduced based on distinct analytical techniques, including biochromatography, capillary electrophoresis, ultrafiltration, equilibrium dialysis, microdialysis, and magnetic beads. The applications of ligand fishing approaches in the discovery of lead compounds were reviewed. Most of ligand fishing methods display specificity, high efficiency, and require less sample pretreatment, which makes them especially suitable for screening active compounds from complex mixtures of natural products. We also summarized the applications of ligand fishing in the modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and propose some perspectives of this remarkable technique.

Multiple target drug cocktail design for attacking the core network markers of four cancers using ligand-based and structure-based virtual screening methods. BMC Med Genomics 2015; 8 Suppl 4:S4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Computer-aided drug design has a long history of being applied to discover new molecules to treat various cancers, but it has always been focused on single targets. The development of systems biology has let scientists reveal more hidden mechanisms of cancers, but attempts to apply systems biology to cancer therapies remain at preliminary stages. Our lab has successfully developed various systems biology models for several cancers. Based on these achievements, we present the first attempt to combine multiple-target therapy with systems biology. METHODS In our previous study, we identified 28 significant proteins--i.e., common core network markers--of four types of cancers as house-keeping proteins of these cancers. In this study, we ranked these proteins by summing their carcinogenesis relevance values (CRVs) across the four cancers, and then performed docking and pharmacophore modeling to do virtual screening on the NCI database for anti-cancer drugs. We also performed pathway analysis on these proteins using Panther and MetaCore to reveal more mechanisms of these cancer house-keeping proteins. RESULTS We designed several approaches to discover targets for multiple-target cocktail therapies. In the first one, we identified the top 20 drugs for each of the 28 cancer house-keeping proteins, and analyzed the docking pose to further understand the interaction mechanisms of these drugs. After screening for duplicates, we found that 13 of these drugs could target 11 proteins simultaneously. In the second approach, we chose the top 5 proteins with the highest summed CRVs and used them as the drug targets. We built a pharmacophore and applied it to do virtual screening against the Life-Chemical library for anti-cancer drugs. Based on these results, wet-lab bio-scientists could freely investigate combinations of these drugs for multiple-target therapy for cancers, in contrast to the traditional single target therapy. CONCLUSIONS Combination of systems biology with computer-aided drug design could help us develop novel drug cocktails with multiple targets. We believe this will enhance the efficiency of therapeutic practice and lead to new directions for cancer therapy.

Immobilised histidine tagged β2-adrenoceptor oriented by a diazonium salt reaction and its application in exploring drug-protein interaction using ephedrine and pseudoephedrine as probes. PLoS One 2014; 9:e94955. [PMID: 24747442 PMCID: PMC3991622 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0094955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2013] [Accepted: 03/21/2014] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
A new oriented method using a diazonium salt reaction was developed for linking β2-adrenoceptor (β2-AR) on the surface of macroporous silica gel. Stationary phase containing the immobilised receptor was used to investigate the interaction between β2-AR and ephedrine plus pseudoephedrine by zonal elution. The isotherms of the two drugs best fit the Langmuir model. Only one type of binding site was found for ephedrine and pseudoephedrine targeting β2-AR. At 37 °C, the association constants during the binding were (5.94±0.05)×103/M for ephedrine and (3.80±0.02) ×103/M for pseudoephedrine, with the binding sites of (8.92±0.06) ×10−4 M. Thermodynamic studies showed that the binding of the two compounds to β2-AR was a spontaneous reaction with exothermal processes. The ΔGθ, ΔHθ and ΔSθ for the interaction between ephedrine and β2-AR were −(22.33±0.04) kJ/mol, −(6.51±0.69) kJ/mol and 50.94±0.31 J/mol·K, respectively. For the binding of pseudoephedrine to the receptor, these values were −(21.17±0.02) kJ/mol, −(7.48±0.56) kJ/mol and 44.13±0.01 J/mol·K. Electrostatic interaction proved to be the driving force during the binding of the two drugs to β2-AR. The proposed immobilised method will have great potential for attaching protein to solid substrates and realizing the interactions between proteins and drugs.
